Midjourney acquired the astrology app Co-Star - TechCrunch

What the report says

TechCrunch reported that Midjourney, the AI lab widely known for image and video generation tools, has acquired Co-Star, a social astrology app. The item, published July 24, 2026, cited Bloomberg for the acquisition and said financial terms were not disclosed.

According to TechCrunch, Co-Star has reportedly attracted about 4.3 million monthly active users. The app is used to generate and share astrological birth charts, and it produces horoscopes, compatibility readings and related advice using a mix of artificial intelligence and human input. TechCrunch said Co-Star’s roughly two dozen employees have joined Midjourney as part of the deal.

The acquisition is notable because it points to Midjourney’s expanding ambitions beyond the generative image and video products that made it prominent. TechCrunch noted that Midjourney has been closely associated with its Discord-based experience for creating images and text, and that it does not yet have a standalone app. The publisher also referenced other reported areas of expansion, including efforts tied to a medical arm and a spa.

TechCrunch framed Co-Star’s consumer-app experience as potentially useful for Midjourney as it broadens its product strategy. While the article did not report a specific product roadmap or confirm that a Midjourney app is coming, the move gives the AI company a team with experience building and operating a large consumer social application.
